I deadass can't wait. I'm so excited to read this book, I think Nikki's an amazing writer, the parts of The Heroin Diaries that were taken from his journals left me in tears more often than not. I have really high expectations for this book.

edit after reading: It reads like a college admissions essay. My essay for UCLA was more heartfelt - Nikki wrote this like an idealistic teenager trying to get into Berkeley. It falls flat.

If you love music, biographies, true stories, behind the scenes, Idaho, or just a good read, then pick up The First 21. This one hooked me for many reasons.
1) I had tickets to see Motley Crue at Sofi in LA in 2020. It was supposed to be their last tour then Covid hit. It's been postponed twice so we're still waiting with fingers crossed. Nikki Sixx discusses the plans for this tour which makes me hope even more that it still happens.
2) He spend part of his teenage years in Jerome & Twin Falls, Idaho where my mom and family grew up. He sat across from my aunt in Biology. Small world!
3) I watched The Dirt and wanted to know more!
The story of how Nikki Sixx became Nikki Sixx and his first 21 years has me ready to pick up his other books and read more!

Nikki Sixx is a great storyteller. Loved the look into this life growing up. However, I am either in awe or perplexed how someone can remember so many details about their "first 21 years". Mine are all a blur. I can't recall what I ate for dinner last Thursday never mind remember the antics when I was 19....lol!
Nonetheless, flew through this one quickly. Great memoir. Always a Mötley Crüe and Nikki Sixx fan forever. \ m /
